Amy’s Questions for me:

1. What is your reading goal for 2018?

I haven’t thought this through completely as of yet (which is a bit dangerous as we’re very close to 2018!) I know that I’ll go higher than 30 books which was my reading goal for this year and I completed that in August! *round of applause*

2. What do you do when you are in a reading slump?

Normally when this happens I tend to binge tv shows or watch a marathon of movies to try and give me some space between books. Eventually I come back around!

3. What is your top 5 books of 2017?

Good question! Top 5 books that I read in 2017 (in no particular order): Love & Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch, November 9 by Colleen Hoover, Geekerella by Ashley Poston, My Not So Perfect Life by Sophie Kinsella and Sick Pleasure by Jessica Serra Huizenga.

4. Who is your Number 1 fictional crush at the moment?

At the moment, it probably is Benton James Kessler from November 9 just because I finished this book a couple of days ago and I loved how he was portrayed.

5. What is your favourite genre?

I find this a difficult question because I really enjoy all different genres, I guess it would have to be action/adventure.

6. Which season do you read more in?

It honestly depends on how busy I am around that time of year, for me it has nothing to do with the seasons.

7. If you could have two authors to co-write a book, who would they be?

Ooooooh! I would choose Marissa Meyer and Jessica Serra Huizenga, it would be an action/adventure novel mixed with very sexy, romantic scenes.

8. Where do you read the most?

On my bed, it’s where I’m cosiest.

9. Do you take a book everywhere you go?

Literally E-V-E-R-Y-W-H-E-R-E I go!!!

10. Do you break spines or keep them unbroken?

I try my absolute hardest to not break the sounds of my books, but it has been proven difficult with some books. If you guys have any tips on how to stop this from happening, that would be really appreciated!

11. What do you enjoy most about reading?

Entering all these different worlds and lives of incredible fictional places and characters is probably what I enjoy most about reading. I’ve loved reading from such a young age and I’m glad it’s never changed.
